Yup.

But they sure make up for it with their "Relax" appearance in the classic 80s thriller "Body Double" which acts almost like a second video...it's freaking hilarious! Plus the iconic 80s cheese of "Two Tribes" with the Gorby and Ronnie fight club. They get a total pass from me for these two brilliant moments.

I was in London in 84 and Frankie was everywhere. The video and song were playing constantly in clubs and it seemed like everyone was wearing "Frankie Says" shirts. The backlash was beginning with "I Don't Give A F*** What Frankie Says" t-shirts starting to appear.

That video brings back memories of a very specific period. I think I actually have a picture disk of the single somewhere.
